I just bought it from Creative directly for $349, and there is a $50 rebate.
Last Friday I used a 10% coupon to buy an 10mb IPOD from BestBuy, and I returned it today.
What I like about the IPOD:
- Size
- Sound, best sound from an MP3 player that I've heard
- Display with nice backlight
- Firewire interface
- Charging while connected to my PC with integrated battery
- Excellent ease of use and navigation
- Look and feel, it is practically an artwork. A+ on appearance and ease of use
Why I took it back and bought the Creative device:
- Double capacity for less than what I paid for the IPod
- Specs on the audio output of the Nuzen
- FM tuner is a nice bonus
- WMA support, true it is not as universal as MP3, but I have WMA files that I'd rather not bother re-ripping or converting
- Playback time on the Nuzen
- buffer capacity. (Although I did not have any skip problem with the IPod even with vigorous exercise and running).
IMHO, the Nuzen is equal to or superior to the IPod in every respect except negligible differences in size and weight.
